Abstract: The present disclosure provides a linkable cosmetic composition. The composition includes a vinyl pendant siloxane component and a hydrogen pendant siloxane component. The composition further includes a catalyst and a solvent.

Abstract: Presented are methods of using topical analgesic compositions for rapid relief of muscular aches and pain where the analgesic composition has been stored at a temperature of less than 10° Centigrade prior to use.

Abstract: The present invention contemplates a dual warming and analgesic composition comprising a hydrous portion comprising water and an anhydrous portion comprising a zeolite a carrier and a suspending or dispersing agent, wherein the anhydrous portion and the hydrous portion are combined in use to provide warming and analgesic effects without the addition of external water.

Abstract: The present invention contemplates a dual warming and moisturizing composition comprising a hydrous portion comprising water and an anhydrous portion comprising a zeolite a carrier and a suspending or dispersing agent, wherein the anhydrous portion and the hydrous portion are combined in use to provide warming and moisturizing effects without the addition of external water.

Abstract: The present invention contemplates a dual warming and sanitizing leave on composition comprising a hydrous portion comprising water and an anhydrous portion comprising a zeolite a carrier and a suspending or dispersing agent, wherein the anhydrous portion and the hydrous portion are combined in use to provide warming and sanitizing effects without the addition of external water.

Abstract: Topically applicable, aesthetically pleasing/elegant cosmetic/dermatological sunscreen compositions well suited for both effective and SPF-improved UV-photoprotection of human skin, scalp, lips, mucous membranes and/or hair contain (a) an effective UV-photoprotecting amount of at least one UV-A sunscreen and/or at least one UV-B sunscreen and (b) an effective aesthetically and SPF improving amount of glass microspheres, formulated into (c) a topically applicable, cosmetically/dermatologically acceptable vehicle, diluent or carrier therefor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sunless tanning composition comprising at least one sunless tanning active ingredient, at least one phospholipid, at least one nonionic surfactant, and at least one amphoteric surfactant. The sunless tanning active ingredient cab be dihydroxyacetone or erythrulose. The composition can, for example, be provided as clear, aqueous-based formulations that can be incorporated into sunless tanning sprays and non-aerosol mousses. Applying the composition to skin may provide enhanced tanning, such as enhanced tanning compared to a formula having the same level of sunless tanning active ingredient but without the phospholipid, nonionic surfactant, and amphoteric surfactant.

Abstract: Cosmetic skin compositions containing a weak carboxylic acid and a random copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The copolymer reduces skin irritation that is sometimes caused by the weak acid active without reducing delivery of weak acids to skin tissues.

Abstract: Cosmetic skin compositions containing a dextran or maltodextrin and a weak carboxylic acid. Dextran enhances the anti-aging activity of the weak acids and reduces skin irritation that is sometimes caused by the weak acid active.

Abstract: Gluconolactone or glucarolactone in cosmetic skin care compositions, as anti-irritants, to reduce skin irritation, which may be intrinsic skin irritation or irritation caused by hydroxy acids or certain retinoids.

Abstract: The inventive compositions contain an oil-in-water and a water-in-oil emulsion, each buffered to a specific pH, so that the difference in pH values of the two emulsions is at least two units. The molecular mixing is minimized by selecting suitable oil and oil phase in a water-in-oil emulsion. The change in pH is further minimized by buffering each emulsion. The particular advantage of the inventive compositions is the ability to separate within a single composition, with minimal intermixing, active compounds which require different pH environments for stability and/or optimum efficacy.
